France looking to recover

Zinedine Zidane’s side had been unbeaten in nine Nations League group-stage matches, recording seven wins and two draws, before Thursday’s loss to Italy. France’s home record remains strong, however, with no defeat in a competitive home match since September 2024.

Turkey arrive in difficult form. They have lost seven of their past eight away matches, with only one victory during that run, and face a France side expected to benefit from home advantage despite several notable defensive absences.

The possible return of Kylian Mbappe could also strengthen the hosts’ attacking options. Africafoot’s prediction is a 3-1 France win.

Betting odds listed by 1xbet make France clear favourites at 1.22 to win. A draw is priced at 7.50, while Turkey are available at 11.00.
